After Dark's
Round Eyed Little Girl
*Goodnight viewers we will report on the bad weather that will hit this city. It has been predicted that rainstorms accompanied by lightning will hit this city later tonight. We're hope....* Weather forecast news
Tittt
Ray turned off the television, though,
"Ray brought the milk powder here" said Mama
Ray gave milk powder setoples to his mother when Ray was 5 years old. Ray is one of the most mature children at his young age.
Every day Ray helps Mama make cakes in the store. Ray also always invites play small children who come to his shop. Ray loved children so much, he once asked his mother to give him a sister. Until one time when mama is pregnant, the age of the mother's womb is four months. My mother miscarried after falling down the stairs. It makes it hard for my mom to get pregnant again.
That afternoon many other traders closed their stores early. The news of the bad weather prediction caused people to panic.
"Ma, are we going home soon tonight?" ask Ray
"Tonight, mama has to make a cake order for tomorrow morning baby. So maybe we'll be home a little longer than usual" said Mama while stirring cream butter
Papa's not in the shop right now, papa's coming tonight. Ray put down his toys, then sat down next to my mom.
"Why Ray?" Ask mom
"Today's weather news said that later tonight there will be a rainstorm accompanied by lightning ma. Aunt Misa and Brother Danu have been closed since. Only our shop has not closed" Ray said
Mama terseyum, mama,
"Not now we are in the store, if the rain is heavy enough we can sleep here dear"
Mama tries to calm Ray who looks panicked.
"hmmmm, okay. I'll call papa first ma. So that papa will come to accompany us here" Smile Ray
Ray ran the cashier's shirt to get a cell phone, then called papa. At that time there were no employees. Only Mama and Papa are in the shop every day. Mama makes cakes and bread while papa serves the buyer.
After calling papa. The loud sound of lightning shocked Ray. Ray shut the store door, turned on all the lights and ran into the kitchen.
Duarrrrr
The sound of lightning was repeatedly heard. The sky began to look very dark because it was covered by black clouds. The strong wind made the shop door open again.
Brakkkkkk
A gust of wind entered the shop, making all the goods move.
"Maaaa" cried Ray
Mama hugged Ray, walked to the door and locked him. Ray looked out the window, it was raining heavily.
"Why did papa come so long" panicked Ray
"Ray baby, don't be afraid here. Papa's coming" mama stroked Ray's head
Because the rain was getting heavy, papa stopped at a supermarket first. The glass of the car is opaque due to the rain makes it difficult for papa to continue the journey. Papa called mama saying that it would be a little late.
My mom decided to close the shop. Mom and Ray walk into the kitchen and suddenly the lights go out. Power outages are temporary to avoid bad things from happening.
I can't make any more cake. Mama and Ray were sitting in cashier seats with cell phone flashlight lighting. Mama stroked Ray's hair sitting on her lap while singing a song to put Ray to sleep.
Mama and Ray fell asleep in the cashier's seat. The more it rains the more. Lightning accompanied by loud lightning makes Mama wake up. Mama and Ray have been asleep for a long time.
Cringggg cringggg cringggg
The sound of the shop bells ringing, mama looked at the door.
"Why ma?" ask Ray while rubbing his eyes
"It looks like there's someone at the door" Mama said
Mama and Ray stood up, walking towards the door.
Kriett
Mom opened the door, though,
Huwekkkkk huwekkk
The cry of a baby in front of the shop door made mama and Ray surprised.
Mama took the baby in a basket, then brought it into the store. Mama replaced the baby clothes with a makeshift cloth in the store. The clothes the baby was wearing were wet with rain.
The baby continued to cry, Ray gave the milk in the basket. The crying stopped too.
"cup cup sweet children do not cry anymore" said mama
Shortly after, the sound of the car stopped in front of the store.
"Finally my father came" said Ray, who ran to open the door
Papa was silent at the door, watching mom holding a baby.
"Whose son is ma?" ask Papa
"Don't know pa, it was suddenly in front of the store" said Mama
Papa saw the baby. The little girl who had round eyes was very pretty.
"Ray's got Pa's sister" Ray cheered
"Ray we don't know whose kid this is. We'd better take it to the police station tomorrow morning" said Mama
"Don't ma, let it be Ray's sister" said Ray
"Look (Mama and Papa look at Ray) Ray looks very happy (Ray plays the baby's hand)" said Papa
Ray had wanted to have a sister for a long time and now suddenly in front of the store there was a baby. She insisted on taking the baby to the police station. But Papa forbids it.
Papa wants to adopt her making her a younger sister to Ray.
"Pa, we don't know in the future how. What if this kid...."
Mama could not continue the talk was broken by Papa.
"Ma, don't be so prejudiced. Maybe his parents deliberately put it in front of the store for us to take care of" Papa said
"Yes my mom understands. But we don't know what his family's origins are. Adopting a child is better than an orphanage. More obvious Pa" ketus Mama
Papa doesn't mind Mama's talk anymore. Papa and Ray are busy playing with the baby.
Eventually, she was willing to adopt the baby. The baby was named
LULUANNA MARLEY'S. All of Ray's family had the name MARLEY in the back.
As time went on Anna grew bigger and bigger. Ray and Anna become brothers and sisters who can not be separated from childhood. Wherever Ray went, Anna followed him from behind.
The rainstorm accompanied by strong winds brought Anna to a very warm and harmonious family.
"Anna let's throw the ball" said Ray loudly
Anna nodded, then threw the ball. The ball stopped right in Papa's stomach.
"Rapa"
Anna hugged Papa. Papa comes to take Rah and Anna to the park. Every afternoon papa took the time to accompany his two children to play.
Since then Anna likes a small park on the river bank near her home. Many childhood memories he went through at the park with Ray.

*Return to current time*
Papa told me everything. I'm still sitting quietly on the floor hearing papa's story.
"Why? Why?" I wander slowly
"Now you know that you are not my son. So, I hope you get out of my house as soon as possible" cried Mama
I stood up, walked out of the room. My feet feel so weak. I wanted to cry, scream as loud as possible.
"IF I CAN I WANT TO EXCHANGE MY SOUL AND MY BODY FOR MY BROTHER. I WANT MY BROTHER TO STAY ALIVE"
But, no matter how hard I want to go back to that wonderful time. The answer will never be. Because my only brother I care about is gone. Mom and Dad will never forgive me again.
